Meadows to speak Friday in Hendersonville

Freshman Congressman Mark Meadows will be the featured speaker at a public forum at 7 p.m. Friday at the Henderson County Historic Courthouse. A previous news release contained the wrong date for the event.

Sponsored by the Conservative Christian Action Team, Meadows will discuss the ongoing efforts in Congress to tackle the most pressing and challenging problems facing this country, and what his role has been in both leading and supporting some of the conservative efforts. There will be time for questions and answers.
